The landscapes in this book both honor and subvert the tradition of western landscape photography, conveying the bleak splendor of the land through Terry Falke's unique lens, at once gorgeous, sardonic, and playful. Shot with a large-format camera, Falke's work emphasizes beauty and incongruity, and is as much about human nature as it is about the land itself. The resulting images from this native southwesterner, presented here in 75 lush, 10 x 8-inch color photographs—including two fold-out triptychs—are personal and provocative, raising more questions than they answer about the subjects they purport to portray.
